You have:

• Significant leadership experience in technology, business systems, operations, process improvement, or digital transformation
• A proven ability to lead cross-functional projects and organizational change
• Strong understanding of enterprise business systems, reporting, analytics, and process design
• Exceptional communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience building relationships across multiple departments and locations
• Strong analytical, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills
• The ability to balance innovation with practical execution

Experience within agriculture, equipment dealerships, manufacturing, distribution, construction, automotive, or other multi-location service organizations would be considered a significant asset.
